Discover the best and most effective house plants for your kitchen!

Are you sick of your house plants always dying on you? Green thumb or not, these sturdy house plants are tough enough to withstand any neglect - plus they look fantastic!

1. Herbs

Herbs like mint, basil, and oregano are a great choice for kitchen plants seeing as you can also use them while you cook. They're easy to grow, and delicious, too.

2. Spider Plants

Spider plants thrive in light, but they also do just fine in low light. No matter what your kitchen is like these guys will live a long time. Hang them or put them on top of the benchtop to add a bright component to your kitchen.

3. Aloe Vera

Not only does it look nice on your benchtop (and take up less space than other plants!) but aloe’s healing properties are great for when you accidentally burn yourself while cooking too. Just break off a stem and use the gel to relieve the pain!

4. Pothos

If you want an un-killable climbing plant to add some pizzazz to your kitchen, the reliable pothos is your best bet. It can handle various levels of light, heat and humidity, and it'll show you when it's being neglected or overwatered and bounce back once you take care of it.

5. Lavender

According to some people, lavender can be used as a repellant for bugs like flies, mosquitos, and moths. That means that growing fresh lavender won't just look pretty and smell fantastic, it'll help you keep the creepy crawlies away too!
